Highlights


Devel Kernel Announcements

We uploaded a newer v4.9 based Zesty kernel to the archive:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/4.9.0-6.7

It is currently based on v4.9-rc8 an we hope to have it promote out of -proposed before Dec 16. Please test and let us know your results. We anticipate we'll eventually converge on a v4.10 based kernel for Zesty.
